Clearly, there are many things we cannot influence during this time but there are also many we can. Sometimes, it is very hard to show the change and the ripple effect that our interventions have achieved though I believe the impact we are making is foundational and the resilience our interventions have achieved has never been more important.

I would like to thank for the strong confidence that has been shown from our donors, this telling us and the Afghan people they will not be forgotten. Our donors’ willingness to carry on with and even step up their support, and reaching out to us in getting information on how best that can be done is highly commendable.

Open and honest dialogue and inclusion on finding the best path forward has never been more important and with the help from them and close coordination from our Copenhagen HQ, I am sure this will get stronger and better with time.

As always, I would like to end this in confirming how proud I am in this position as director of DACAAR, representing the strong Afghan DACAAR team standing side by side with the Afghan people.

We will continue to do that as long as they need us and continue on relying on our communities for access, inclusion, and quality intervention to make sure we achieve our goals to the best of our ability. A huge thanks to all those supporting us along the way.

DACAAR Country Director
